- Let's reflect and see if I am indeed "bagged out". Does this buying of luxury and contemporary handbags need to stop? Is all of this UA-cam's fault??? When is enough, enough? I need your help!

Are you tired of all of the influence to buy the next thing???
Awww puppies ❤️. Would you maybe want to volunteer a bit at an animal shelter? It's In my list of potential activities actually 😁.
hmm that's a thought - especially if I was in charge of "puppy socialization". 🤣🥰🩷
Yes I can completely relate to this Aaryn! I’m actually getting a puppy soon so I thought I’d switch to watching UA-cam videos of puppy training instead of bag videos to help me from wanting to find the next thing. I still like to watch bag videos since it makes me happy :( wishing the best for you but I love watching your content like it’s a new episode to a tv show I like to follow!!
I’d love to see more comparison videos of your bags and maybe ways to style different bags too?
If you still love shopping I know some people who go into personal shopping so you’re still shopping but for someone else 😅 haha. I also love how you style your bags so I’m not sure if there’s a future making your own charms or straps. love the puppy idea though or fostering dogs!
@@things_i_fancy I would love to shop for others but man when I do I end up buying for myself too (one for me, one for you mentality 🤣🤣🤣). I'm trying to work my way through that and start posting deals again to my community page...I think I'm over the dog idea - with the kids schedules it wouldn't be fair to the puppy to add one at least now anyway. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!!🥰
Bag fatigue is real. Most of us who are bag lovers are actually bag addicts. 😂 And like with any addiction, there are adrenaline-filled moments of excitement and then comes regret, selling, then withdrawal and the cycle starts all over again. I have gone through the “sell and repurchase” sequence so many times, it makes me wonder if I’ll ever find purse peace.
I now have a rule that in order to add one more bag to my collection, I first must choose one to let go. This rule is currently helping to curb the impact of my impulsivity, both emotionally and financially. Thank you for this video. I am right there with you.
That's a great rule to have - I have been trying to do the same (one of the bags coming is black and I sold a black bag...I really should have sold 2 or 3 though!)...I find it exhausting to buy, try, have fails bc of style and quality issues and dishonest resellers. Returns are stressful, selling is stressful. I'm going to make a video about all the reasons to be content with what all l have in addition to the fact that I have a great collection already:). Thanks so much for watching and for sharing - I appreciate you!🩷🩷🩷
When I made that video it was the lowest point in my life, my mom was losing her battle with cancer and passed less than a week after that. I had no interest in anything especially bags. I do think it is very normal to go through phases of wanting more and wanting to stop. I personally have been having fun shopping my own closet this year and using the least used. It sounds like you are happy with your collection and that is a good thing!
Thanks so much Melinda for taking the time to watch and comment on my video. I think what you went through before and after that video was horrible and I'm so glad you are in a better place now🥰🥰🥰. I enjoy watching your content very much.
I can’t even TELL YOU how much I relate to what all you said! I’m 47 and I have been obsessed with purses since I was just a little girl. I have an immense collection and yet I still seem to want more. It’s like it’s never enough, even though there’s absolutely no way I can ever even carry all the bags I currently have! I don’t really want to let any of them go, either. I have days where I start feeling so overwhelmed simply because I have so many amazing bags that don’t even get carried. I find myself feeling stressed over NOT using them, all the while searching online for my next “fix”! It’s exhausting and honestly, sometimes I feel it’s a real (dare I say) sickness! I don’t know if it’s the thrill of the chase, or the excitement of the anticipation of a mail delivery, or WHAT exactly, but I, too, really need to slow down on my purchases and simply just use and enjoy the beautiful collection I already have.
As far as future video content ideas, I think just showcasing one of your existing bags in each video would be great. Make it a feature where you show it with outfits, out and about, and the different accessories you use with the bag of the day. In doing so, it might rekindle your love for what you have, and get some of your forgotten bags back into a regular rotation!

it's good to know that I am not alone… Thank you so much for your thoughtful, relatable insights and for some great ideas :-). 🩷🩷🩷
This is soooo relatable and I love the idea about future videos I was thinking the same thing.
It’s a brutal cycle
@@BlackBeauty-yl8uq Yes it it😩🩷
I applaud you for your vulnerability and transparency dear friend. You have a STELLAR bag collection that's the best I've ever seen before. I think life is a journey and if you feel content in your bag space, it's time to move on to healthy hobbies to keep your mind busy. I work out daily, work a full time job, hike, bike and want to enjoy traveling now. I'll always like bags, but I'm ready to not LOVE them anymore. There's a difference. ❤
Awe thanks so much sweetie. I need to develop some healthy hobbies for sure! I appreciate u🥰
Hi Aaryn, you are always so honest and upfront about your thoughts about your handbag collection, which I really appreciate. I will be brainstorming as to future video ideas, as you asked!! Great collection is RIGHT!
Awe thanks so much Karen!!! I try:). Look forward to your thoughts🩷
Hello Aaron!!! I'm actually getting to the point where I'm almost satisfied with my bag collection. The closer my husband and I are getting to retirement. I have other things on my mind when we retire in a couple of years. I so enjoyed watching. have a wonderful week.
That is awesome! Thanks so much and you too🩷🩷🩷
I went through the same thing last year!
I realized i was putting too much precedence into luxury bags..especially LV
I came to realize that i wanted to enjoy my collection more by being more picky with my purchases.
Balance is so important...i have put a lot more energy into my fitness, job, and church.
But I'm like you, I'm not clearing anything out and enjoying what i have
We think much alike! ❤❤❤❤
It's a good realization to have. I have felt a lot more at peace the last few days and have been making healthier plans! TY for watching!🩷
I think this was one of your best videos ever!! Thank you for your honesty! While I don't have nearly as many bags as you do, I do find myself watching videos, searching for the next "it bag." I've come to the determination it's okay to look. I have a one in, one out rule, and that has served me well. My suggestions for you are I would love a closet tour. I would love a top bags of all time video. I would love your top 5 most practical bags for daily life.
I would love for you to do take a couple of your bags and rotate them through the week and report in how functional they were, and if you still like them as much. I am blabbing on. These are just a few of the ideas I can think of. I think anyone who loves bags the way we do can relate to how you are feeling. We are with you!
Awe thanks so much! Those are great ideas and I'm implementing the one in one out rule starting last Saturday..:). 🩷🩷
I agree!! We’re addicted to handbags😭
I have two dogs and I’m still looking at bags online😅
I have two dogs too! The addiction is REAL😩♥️🥰.
I feel your pain!!! I’ve purchased A LOT of handbags since watching purse channels on Utube!!! I no desire to purchase anything right now, as I have plenty of handbags for one person!!
Thanks for sharing!! I'm glad I'm not alone🥰🥰🥰
Good job!
@@BlackBeauty-yl8uq ty!!!🩷
HAHA Sorry Erin!!! I made you go down a minty bag hunt!! Don't worry, I don't have any bags in the minty shade either...its a trend that will come..and go! Thanks for the shoutout!!! Loved your discussion!
Yes Jessie you did🤣🤣🤣. what's funny is part of the reason I sold the Valentino was because of the color! But yet, I was still shopping for another minty bag :-). I think we are all just nuts! 🩷🩷🩷
@@thehandbaghousewife AGREE! Im still handbag crazy!!
I love chatty videos too and collection videos the most. For most people, it’s unrealistic and not financially sustainable to keep unboxing handbags. Aaryn, I love your closet tours. That would be great. I don’t want to spend money on something I’m not going to used either. 😊
I love chatty videos because it makes me feel connected to someone - and Absolutely it's NOT sustainable!! Thanks so much:)🥰🥰🥰
Don’t get a puppy. 😂
Two dogs is enough. I have one big dog and he’s a lot of work.
🤣🤣🤣. Yea I think I have worked my way through that one🥰
@user-od8qw7ti8k yes and boarding and haircuts!!!
❤this video Aaryn! Appreciate your honesty. Went through the same feeling last year after chasing the next IT bags. Which actually was a good thing. Made me more selective with my purchases and buy bags that works for my liking and my lifestyle. I watched your bag collection tour and you own such beautiful pieces. While there’s no such thing as purse peace, for me anyway, but you’re now getting close, if not there yet to where you want your collection to be. For future videos, I would love to see how you style your bags. Little vlogs when you’re out and about. Or bag wear and tear reviews, bags you took traveling, etc. and yes, chatty videos too. 😊
Awe thanks so much - you are too kind and those are great ideas too!!!🩷🩷🩷
You’re not crazy and neither am I! 😆We are just passionate about bags!
Yes it's a passion NOT an obsession OR A DISEASE🤣🩷
It’s an addiction which is technically one.
I'm so with you, I've been there almost a year now. My bag collecting definitely goes in phases. I have in the past taken several years off from buying. I started back up again in 2021 and went crazy for a couple years, then came to my senses. I have enough, I have more than enough, and I need to be saving. I'm on a No Buy for this year and I've already lost the taste for mindless impulsive shopping. What helped me is watching a few really great videos about shopping addiction, really eye opening. Wishing you the best 🩷
awe thanks so much Jane! I appreciate you watching and sharing your journey as well - best wishes to you and your family!!! 🩷
I understand what you're feeling. You have luxury bags, they are expensive and if you love them why buy something else?
I love Coach and try to keep my collection around 30 or less. I also think about a new bag as to what it will compete with. I love my collection right now, so finding something to sell is becoming more difficult. ( I am starting to think about selling some of my bigger bags that I don't use often) I also plan to retire in 5 yrs and know I do not want to spend money on bags once I retire and will probably sell more , as well. It's a struggle, I love shopping and bags are like works of art to me. I love your discussion videos, too. I just don't really have ideas right now.
thanks so much for weighing in - sounds like we are in similar states of contentment with what we have! 🩷
Every time I think I am content with my bag collection, I fall in love with another… 😊
Me too!! I've been strong since this morning a little before I filmed this video 🤣🤣🤣🩷
Same here exactly. 😂
You can double bag with the Gucci and coach and bang, you’re on point😅 just kidding, you don’t need a specific colour to be on trend. You are more than enough, Aaryn❤
haha yes. thanks Dani:)💚💚💚
I gel the same way about my bag collection! I feel like I will take the year 2024 off, declutter and then start again later…maybe.
I think it may come and go in cycles, but I'm hoping I can act more like a normal person again with regards to my relationship with my bags 🤣🤣🤣🩷
This happened to me with Makeup. I loved makeup for years. I watched UA-cam videos, spent all of my disposable income on it, played with it, just loved it. I grew out of it. I still love makeup but I don’t collect it anymore.
Interesting! I tend to find a way to collect whatever I am into at the moment whether it is a t shirt or spices🤣🤣🤣🩷
I really appreciate your sincerity. Perhaps moving towards more videos where you discuss the knowledge of the quality of bags and brands you've accumulated over the last several years and what you have learned. Imparting those lessons learned would be beneficial for the handbag collecting community.
In that vein, videos that discuss wear and tear and how to restore bags as well. That way, it's not just like you said focused on acquiring new things. Tips on how to approach luxury brands when there is a defect and how to sell and buy preloved bags safely in 2024. I have an LV bag I've been wanting to sell but am nervous of getting scammed. Hope that helps.
Those are great ideas - thanks so much for watching and commenting! I think ebay is the best place to sell if you don't have a platform of your own:).
I understand Aaryn. I haven’t purchased a bag in 3 months. About two weeks ago, I found myself browsing the handbag department at Neiman Marcus. I tried on a few bags, took pictures on my phone, admired the pics when I got home and fell out of love with every single one I tried on 😔 I’m currently struggling with creating content on my channel as well without having to keep buying the next new thing.
I think it’s a combination of bag fatigue and experiencing a recent death in my family. I think I just need to find another hobby. You have a lovely collection of bags and I enjoyed listening to this chatty video. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Yes, I find myself looking at my family and thinking that I want more from the relationships with them then I am giving… So taking at least a partial step back, I think will be a very positive thing... and I think working out again would be an excellent idea! 🩷🩷🩷
I think you can explore other less known Brands which is another whole new world. Demellier, Polene, Songmont etc. They are well made with very creative designs.
True, but I guess the issue for me is that I think that I would like to shift some of the focus of my life (at least during my free time) away from shopping for bags...ty so much for sharing though and I will keep that in mind!!! 🩷🩷🩷
Hi Aaryn, I truly appreciated your genuine self-check questions. As a bag lover, I enjoy a variety, always. I have gone through seasons of enjoying my bags, no-buy months, then in search of bags that have caught my eye, then selling loads of bags (like I'm doing now)..it's a cycle of seasons. What I've done in the past is stop my email ads, lessened UA-cam watching so as not to be influenced. There are many seasons where I'm good with what I have and am not interested in any current bags. For me, I'm downsizing and it feels so good all while enjoying each bag that I'm keeping. I would like to see different topics on the bags you have, maybe how they can be worn in different seasons, styling them with different outfits, just to name a couple. And for discussion videos, I always like seeing the BOTD. I agree and can relate to all that you've said. Thanks so much for the discussion! ❤
Awe thanks so much! I appreciate you so much for watching and taking the time to write this comment sharing your experiences...I also thank you so much for some great ideas for future videos:). Have a wonderful day!!!🩷
Yes do a closet tour.
🩷🩷🩷
4 rescue dogs here and hasn’t replaced my handbag obsession. Don’t do it lol
🤣🤣🤣🩷
I'd call it handbag contentment 😉. You're pleased with what you have right now which is fabulous. Keep looking at what is on trend because after all, it is fun. But then for more fun check the closet. I see that as a fun video... showcasing what's new and compare it to what you, or we, may already have. Thanks for sharing 😊.
Great point and omg that's a fabulous idea!!!
I resonate with this. I think I’m bagged out and love what I have, don’t want to sell.. totally understand! ❤
Love that! It is kind of a relief in a way to say it out loud:)🩷
Aaryn, I have loved purses and bags since I was a young girl …. I am 52 now and still obsessed haha I guess my love will never go away 😅😅😊 so I am not much help, sorry 😮😅😊
🩷🩷🩷
I love puppies but they’re so much work! It’s like having another baby 😂 Maybe volunteer at a shelter? You’re right about the influence of UA-cam!! I feel the same about buying and would like to slow down and appreciate what I have instead of focus on what I don’t have
They are! So true! I just filmed a video about when buying goes wrong and how stressful it can be - maybe that will deter us both for a bit 🤣🤣🥰🩷
Alright, now that I’ve watched all the way through, here’s an idea: make shorts of you pairing bags with different outfits to music. It will make you rethink how you dress, learn to play with what you have already and keep in the bag scene along with stretching your video editing skills! Much love to you and your family. ❤ your handbag obsession.
That's a great idea! Thank you🩷🩷🩷
I am and have been for a while but I’m going to Italy next week so I’ll slow down on the handbag shopping when I get back from this trip. 😂. I have about five or six bags of my list right now and it’s cheaper to pick them up in Europe! I know what you mean though…i’m tired of selling also and the resale market demand has also decreased. I don’t consider myself a collector. I buy bags to use them but I have two daughters so there’s a lot of “I should by two of these one for each daughter.” My daughters are not even into handbags right now! Hopefully, they will appreciate my great taste in handbags and not ever have to buy any overpriced bags themselves!
ooh have so much fun in Europe - that sounds wonderful. I will be on a European Cruise this June which will not be in any way focused on handbags - but I may pick up a beautiful piece of jewelry if I can save at least some my money until then:)...
Girl I'm soooo with you. I had an opportunity to add another bag but there's just nothing i HAVE to have right now. There's nothing that's really catching my eye enough to spend the money on it.
I'm glad I'm not alone - I don't need to spend just for the sake of spending!🩷
This may be out there but showing and/or re-organizing your closet w/us would be interesting. Seeing all the different ways to display the bags, best ways to stuff and store etc…just a thought.
Those are some great ideas! Thx so much:)..🥰🥰🥰
❤ I’m so happy for you! I have slowed down and have decided to spend money by donating to a local food bank and a local women’s shelter. I think it’s a mid life thing for me. How can I give rather than try to fill myself up with meaningless objects. I love my bags, that’s for sure but giving is WAY more gratifying. Plus at the end of my life, I hope my life will be valuable.
That is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing 🩷🩷🩷
Hi. You are too much. Your video resonated with me. I started rhsi fascination with handbags later in life in my nid 50s!! It’s become obsessive. Take me thru your journey. I just sold 6 bags I didn’t use as much or liked as much (from when I didn’t know how to purchase) to FASHIONPHILE to get the Chanel 22. Now I only want bags I want like LV leather, and Chanel and yes a Long champ for work! And oh a Loewe. It seems like I’ve gotten more in turn with what I want versus trying to get each designer bag. I’ve also thought I need a puppy. Like you I love the UA-cam videos. Why not! It’s entertaining. Idea for you tell us how old were you when you got your first one, what have you learned and at the end of the day how do we arrive to a collection that is reasonable.
Glad to find another kindred spirit! I think "trading up" is a great way to curate your collection. I've been told the puppy thing wasn't the best idea so I'm listening to advice given:)...thx so much for the ideas and for watching and commenting!🩷
Could you do a video where a family member picks out your outfits?😊
They are all boys so I don't think they would - but my hubby is going to pick his fav bags and the ones he likes the least for two upcoming videos! Thx so much for the idea 💜💜💜
I have been in the space your in so many times. And it's not UA-cam for me but the darn FB groups.I feel like if I don't visit those groups on a daily basis, I found my urge to buy diminished greatly. And it felt good. I dropped being an admin in one of the groups because of it.
I understand completely - it started with facebook for me but now no source is safe - ebay, fashionphile, rebag, facebook, vlog sales on youtube - you name it! I think the spark that drives the searching though is primarily ignited by youtube though:(...Thx so much for sharing Nicolle!🩷
I LOVE HANDBAGS! There……… I said it!
I hear u AND I still do too! My name is Aaryn, and I am a handbagaholic!
Hi, I would love to see a video on how you style your bags with your outfits. The other thing I would like to see is the history of each bag and how you came to purchase it. Thanks.
Oh wow those are both great ideas - ty so much!!!🩷
I love to see how you decorate your bags, how you tie scarves on your bags. Also the different ways you decorate your bags, nobody does it better! If there are two handles and you want to put scarves, do the scarves have to be the same?
Great idea! Maybe I could show all of the bags I've spiced up in some way🩷🩷🩷
please show us a video on chains and straps and different ways to use and wear and types of chains/straps/extenders and how to accessorize the bags with charms etc
Of course - and please check out my playlist called "straps" for lots of videos like this in the meantime 🥰🥰🥰
I would love a video on you Apple guard your bags, even how you wash your clothes to prevent color transfer. I love all of the other non handbag videos you do too. I feel like the past two years these companies have gone too crazy with price increases. I feel like designer bags should be around $1000 not $3-5000 on average with a lot getting closer to $10,000. You can also do a video discussing your Botox or beauty treatments you do to stay looking youthful.
Wonderful ideas thanks so very much - you may want to check out my "handbag care, tips and tricks playlist" where I discuss a few (but not all) of your suggestions 🩷🩷...thanks again!🥰
I’ve got an interesting idea which could work on a luxury goods channel based in the USA (as you have tax laws which allow a business to claim business expenses even before business profits have been made). Buy the luxury good, get the cost back from the government in the form of a tax refund so it has cost you nothing. Then sell the luxury good. Gift the proceeds of this sale to a person or family in need…conditional that you can make a video on how the funds have positively improved their life. People have to follow you for x months to be eligible for the gift, and you choose the lucky recipient according to your own criteria. I think a whole new audience would be attracted to the channel - people in need and those who want to follow the sociological experiment. Your audience will be uplifted and enlightened by the journey, and you’ll inspire content creators - including yourself! Turn UA-cam and consumerism on its head - get people consuming beautiful acts as well as beautiful things.
This is a very interesting idea, but in the US you don't get all the money back from business "losses", only what you paid taxes on...and that's only if personal use isn't ads v a factor (then you get less than that...). The highest tax rate is just over 40% I believe so that is the highest amount one could get back in taxes and only if there is income within the family to offset that expense....but thanks so much for the thought provoking idea!
@@thehandbaghousewife I see - I misunderstood your tax law. I thought probably us-based creators were doing so many unboxings as it was essentially free for them! Lol
@@hw7029 I wish it was...but unfortunately it's not:(....thx again though for thinking up a cool idea - I wish it would work! 🩷
Perhaps do a video on the thought process behind how you match bags to outfits, especially hard to match bags.
Great idea!!!🩷
Would love to see your most up to date collection video
Coming soon! ty🥰🥰🥰
I can completely understand your feelings. I know this from book lovers/readers (like myself and their channels or communities)...sounds maybe strange, but it's relatable as also ragarding books there are so many people how have like 50, 100, 200 or more unread books at home and always buy more, research for them etc. and there we say that it's about two different hobbies - reading books and collecting books (and all related to it). So also for you it's a hobby and collecting makes you get addicted to the hunt and the research and I think it's actually not about enjoying the bag primerly. That would be the passion for wearing beautiful handbags and is different to the collection/hunt. The hunt is about the excitement and of course the intrinsic need to get something new although you've two bags on your way. But I think mentally you already put a "done" on these bags from the collection point of view and your inner hunter is ready for the next catch 😅. Definitely this could become better when you look for another hobby or even activities to get yourself distracted or occupied otherwise (maybe working out or yoga, pilates, gardening, reading, learn something new etc). Concerning video ideas, I love how you always dress up your bags. Maybe you want to focus on that showing how to dress certain bags nicely with foulards (how to bind them...), chains, belts. Or you could do videos where you show good alternatives to pricy bags/brands or outfit/bag videos where you show how a bag can stile up your clothes. Or videos "if you like this, try this...". Maybe do some tutorials "how to..." (e.g. clean, store, search for good bag deals,...). Chit-chatting videos are also nice. It's interesting for me to listen to you (and others) about thoughts and opinions 😊. I hope you'll continue with your channel!
wow, this is such a thought-provoking comment full of great ideas… Thank you so much!🩷🩷🩷
@@thehandbaghousewife ❤️
I love chit chat videos and it’s mostly what I’m watching now. I am pretty happy with my bag collection and unboxing is not what is interesting me anymore. I chased all the bags I really wanted in the past years, owning them all now makes me stop buying more. It might be easier because I’m into classics and not really a seasonal or trendy bags person. All of it to say that I was waiting for my last bag and I got it this week, now I will live with all these bags and it will be loving to style them and rotate them all. I have to admit that big unboxings or the channels that unbox many bags a month are turning me off at this point. I just don’t want to be that person. I want to follow and discuss with creators that have a moderation mindset. It helps to reflect and live in abondance instead of always chasing the new thing.
Yes the chatty videos are amazing! I'm so happy you have reached a point of contentment - there are so many things about being a crazy collector that are actually hard (i.e. the chase for one!). I think a video on that topic may be a good one in fact - to address why buying and collecting handbags can take quite a toll on one's mental state😩. Thanks so much for reaching out and enjoy those bags!!!🩷
I want to start enjoying and using more of my bags that’s why I want to stop buying so many and the ones I don’t use much or have not worn within a year then I’ll sell those.
I've been there and I want to stop hunting for more and enjoy what I have! 🩷
@@thehandbaghousewife Exactly but it hard not to look and want for them.

I have the same mint Gucci bag in the same style.
It's so pretty 😍
Hi Aaryn. I just subscribed. I am feeling very much the same as you regarding handbag fatigue. I just feel like, with the exception of a Dior bag, that I don’t need anymore. I can’t carry all the ones I have now. Plus, I tend to gravitate to just a particular few.
Thanks for subscribing and for sharing!! I really need to focus more of my time & mind space on other things and just doing this video is already helping. If I eliminate shopping from the equation that is at least 1/2 of the time involved! People are providing wonderful ideas for future content and I'm so appreciative:). I'm curious, which Dior bag are you looking for? Thanks again, Dawn🩷
Well, I’m thinking about either the new leather book tote or a Lady Dior.@@thehandbaghousewife
@DawnDonuts the leather book tote has me intrigued and the Lady Dior is gorgeous - have you considered that d-joy? I tried that one on in Hawaii and it seemed easier to get in and out of than the Lady Dior....
I hope you can figure out a way to make your channel sustainable b/c I enjoy your videos! I don't know if this would get tons of views but I'd enjoy seeing styling videos.
awe thanks! I don't plan on quitting altogether, just maybe scaling back in a year if I don't have a "big break":). I have two upcoming styling videos!
You have reached purse peace? I’m addicted to the hunt. I’ll watch any kind of videos you want to present.☺️💕. P. S. Maybe we could cut off our internet so we stop watching UA-cam! 😅
Today I have - well at least since early this morning 🤣🤣🤣. -Thx so much - and there's an excellent solution but we may have to down some satellites too:).
I like your videos. Although there’s plenty of stories that one video gone viral and a channel becomes famous overnight, I’m more of a believer of building your business gradually. As far as your subscribers are growing, you can trust your content. I also follow Amber Ashleigh. She has a similar channel. She does more handbag reviews and similar handbag comparisons. I think that’ll be interesting. Another idea I have is help your subscribers or friends sell their designer handbags on your channel. Just some thoughts. Good luck!
Thank u! Slower growth isn't bad but I just can't sustain this level of spending without a viral video if that makes any sense...Comparisons & reviews are definitely on the docket...I'm not sure about the selling part bc there is so much risk that is out of my hands (the delivery services, scammers, undisclosed damages on bags, & more:(....Thanks so much for the ideas!!!
I have collected 25 handbags, mostly Tory Burch and coach. I don’t own any premium designer handbags. I planned a low buy year starting January 2024. It’s hard even for me and I’m not a content creator. So if you change your perspective from a “business”to a “hobby“, you might feel better. Everybody has a hobby and it’s okay to spend money on hobbies. Our hobbies happen to be handbags. Hope that helps.
@@xianyuliu8470I'm not ready to change to "hobby" yet, but I do want to shift my strategy a bit to be less of a buying new things channel and more of a showcasing what I have channel:). Hopefully I can make it work ❤❤❤🥰. ty so much!
it hard because coach is doing quliled tabby I think I need as love channel but get look but as man would look on and new Denmin I missed out on Frist drop I love your denmin Filed tote 22 but got rid of it So i do know haha
Those are really good looking bags! I hear u!!! 🩷🩷🩷
Hello Arin, hey do you still have coach pillow tabby in raising? I would like to buy from you. 😅 if you are considering selling it 🙈
No, sorry. I don't have any pillow tabbies anymore…🩷
That’s okay, no worries. I chose the green one, but the color raising has been hunting my dreams 😂 I keep looking 👀
I don’t think you should throw in the towel on UA-cam. There are plenty of consumerism topics, luxury topics, handbag tops that do not require you purchasing anything.
What is you did a collection video by brand
-Gucci collection
-Louis Vuitton collection
-YSL collection ect
I'm not ready to give up just yet:). Thanks so much for the ideas!
Loewe, Celine and other designers or just not so interested?
I guess just not super interested though I was eyeballing the Celine bag that looks similar to the speedy 20 the other day...
@@thehandbaghousewifeThe small Boston bag. That’s my next.
@melissalightstone7185 they have relocated the d rings to the sides - if u buy preloved make sure u get the style you want!🩷
@@thehandbaghousewife Thank you
Also the closet background is getting old
I'm sorry you feel that way. I've tried filming other places but the sound isn't as good, so that's why I film in my closet...🩷
I see but a new background when it’s possible would be nice.
all of the stuff I show is in there, so it's very convenient🩷
